My bad. I was attempting to concede the point to you with a little sef-depreciating humor.

The concept of self-depreciating humor is obviously something totally foreign to you so I will explain:

Its where a person laughs at himself and gives the audience the chance to laugh along with him.

Careful now. I am setting you up for my other strong point.

human nature will always trump any form of government imagined when that government is actually put into action.

True, which is why true anarchy is such a phantom, but a republic can stand everything but consolidation of power.

perhaps that should read the inevitable consolidation of power.
